Horn and Hardart's Rice Pudding, Chocolate Pudding, Egg Custard

Yes I am dating myself. When I was a youngster, my grandmother took me on many to Horn and Hardart on either 54th and City Line or in the Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center for countless meals. I always loved that place.

H and H sold their desserts and baked goods to retail customers as well as those who dined at the restaurant. If anyone out there remembers those puddings......rice, chocolate, and egg custard, please speak up! The rice pudding was creamy, with cinnamon overtones, and fat moist raisins throughout. The chocolate pudding was made from real cocoa, with a dark chocoate flavor. The egg custard was delicate yet eggy and sweet.

Does anyone have an idea where i could find some rice pudding that even comes close to H and H?

Easy Rice Pudding

A simple and supremely satisfying dessert, rice pudding is pure comfort in a bowl. It's easy to get there too! Just simmer white rice with whole milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the grains are tender, plump, and creamy, then stir in a little vanilla or almond extract while the pudding's still warm. Top however you like (fresh berries in season, dried fruit, toasted nuts for a crunchy contrast, a sprinkle of cinnamon)—you really can't go wrong. Read more.

We love a cold glass of white or rosé in the warmer months. But why should they have all the summer fun? Occasionally (OK, rarely) we’re left with a glass or two in the fridge. That’s when we make these pops. Read more.

As unconventional as it may sound, this unlikely flavor combination is one for the books. Tangy-sweet bread and butter pickle juice against a salty peanut butter topping makes for an incredibly rich, balanced ice-cream-eating experience. Read more.
